THE Boston Herald takes a more SEN
sible view of things than can be usually
credited to journals who agree with it
generally upon economic subjects, when
it speaks thus of the Hon. Samuel ].
Randall:
"Our impres sion is that he is as strong a
Democrat at heart as there is in the ma
ton"
That is true, and Mr.. Randall's Dem
ocracy has not been wasted. 1t was he
and his Democratic colleagues who
stemmed the tide of tariff for rev.
enue only" that has been threatening
to swamp the Democracy for these sew
eral years.-N. Y. Sun.
GA tariff for revenue only" is plank
of the Democratic platform which Mr..
Randall has absolutely rejected. How
long will he be permitted to remain with
in the party lines, and make war upon its
creed?

Capt. W. H. Har3 resident G. ). 1. R. R., Me-
! 4Tj.ldn, Miss:
DEAR SIR-In the regular receipt of
THE CLARION, l have read in its colu INNS,
with very great delight, of the progress of
the above railroad under your leadership
the grandest business and commercial en-
terprise yet undertaken in Mississippi. |
beg the honor of extending my congratuIa-
tons, well tn yourself, as its representa-
tive and champion, as to the people of the
State. In the multiplicity of railroad pro-
jects during the early days of reconstruc-
ton, this was my favorite, and / prepared
bill for the action of the Legislature, but
committed the fatal blunder of emitting to
interest representatives of the rings, lobby
lists and patriotic (?) members in the list
of corporators, and SO, this, the most meri-
torious of all the railroad schemes of that
day, was ANONYMOUSLY scorned. As l re-
! view these years, that was probably for the
best. There would have been many rival
routes, with the manipulators all against
this. Since those days of "ways that were
peculiar" the State has been Melted with
railways, and this great work has now no
jealous rival and no opposition. The
value of a harbor on the coast has come to
be appreciated.
Your enterprise will be one of State
pride, and State work in which all shall
unite, with one heart and one mind, and,
it is to be hoped, with one purse. With a
harbOr on the Coast, vessels will load and
unload there, and the commerce of New
Orleans and the West will be transferred
| thIther; from which the whole State of Mis-
sissippi will receive fresh impetus, be-
sides untold benefits. My early, though
futile attempt is INDICATED, and am very
happy, and very proud.
Your road will send new experiences in
/ to fresh portions of the State Besides ag-
riculture, Mississippi will have manufac-
| lures and commerce. The endless quanti-
ties of timber along the track of your road
will not be transported to foreign markets
in its raw condition, but manufacturers
will set down their shops by its side, where
| they will transpose those boundless forests
into wares demanded by the worlds civil
ization, thus building up new towns and
cities, giving employment to thousands
upon thousands of laborers, male and
| female, and creating new markets at the
door of every farmer. for his horses, mules,
| cattle, and the productions of his farm,
garden and kitchen, to say nothing of the
demand for he labor of his sons and
daughters at remunerative wages.
Indulge me in saying this much, and
permit me to extend both heart and hand
| in token of my interest in work / should
only be too glad to assist if l knew how.
Believe me, most truly,
]. TARBELL.

right to add the 1856, l69.97 or 1885,

AN interesting episode occurred in
the Kinds County Democratic Conven
tion ON Monday. During the proceed
ings Col. McNeely. of Utica, bore 4
magnificent bouquet into the hall, and
holding it aloft announced the inscrip
ton, "Hon. e. Barksdale, our next
Governor" and then placed it on the
desk where that gentleman was presid
ing. The delegates, rising to theil
feet as one man, acclaimed and
ratified the gift with an outburst Of
applause, to which Major Barksdalt
(who was evidently taken by surprise,
responded in fitting and touching Ian
guage, without, however, indicating hi.
purpose in regard to the gubernatorial
Office. The bouquet, consisting of the
rarest and most beautiful flowers, wa.
the gift of the talented and accom-
plished Miss Maggie Downing, of Ray.

Level-Headed Higgins.

WASHINGTON, Aug, 2.-Higgins, APP
pointment clerk, has again expressed
himself on civil service reform as fol-
lows:
He was asked if he said that civil SER
vice reform was a fraud? Say it,"
answered Mr.. Higgins, "why, of course
| did, and will say it again. Here is a
man who has been working for the Dem
cratic party ever since he was allowed
to vote. When we get in a Democratic
administration he comes up and asks for
81 900 year position. He is over the
civil service age, forty-six, believe,
and can't get it. Been working for the
party ever since he was of age, and
just because he is forty years of
age, when man ought to be at his best,
he is ruled out. Pass the examination?
Why of course he could. But he is not
of civil service age. He has done too
much work for the party. We have got
whole lot of clerks in the Treasury
Department who never passed civil
service examination. About 700 of them
are Republicans. Ask them TO be exam
ined and they throw up their hands and
yell bloody murder. Every one of those
fellows tried to keep us out, and they
will try it again if they think there is
show of winning. When man plays
cards for stake and wins, he wants the
stake. You cannot rid an election Of
the offices no way you try it, and when
the game is over the winning party
ought to rake down the pile or know
why"
Mr.. Higgins ought to have said that
"civil service reform" is fraud, judg-
ed by the misconstructions and arbi-
trary rulings of the Civil Service Com
mission. The law does not exclude
from the privilege of examination for
appointments persons who are over
forty-fve years of age. 1t is like num-
Der of other obnoxious rules devised by
the Commission-purely arbitrary-and
is founded neither upon justice nor COM
mon sense. If these rules are not alb
rogated the law viii be proGisht into
such odinm IS to induce its repeal. The
plan of examining applicants for an.
pointment in order to test their CAPACITY
for public service, is proper enough, but
it should be Invested of its preposterous
and irrelevant features, and impartialIv
enforced.

THE CLARION was one of the papers
which, through inadvertence, gave cur
rency TO TIE report that ]. S. Hoskins
was killed because of an editorial writ
ten by him concerning his slayer. We
ought to have known better, for we
read the Bulletins every issue, and had
seen nothing in it in the least personal.
1t gives us pleasure to make this correc-
ton, and in doing so we append what
his devoted father says on the subject:
J. S. Hoskins, Jr., did not write "vig-
orous articles" for the mere pastime of
defending them at the point of the pis-
toll, for he was too brave, too generous,
and too just to wantonly wound the
feelings of any one, and the
very fact that he did not own a
weapon at about the only time in his
young life when he seriously needed
one, is proof positive that he was not
always prepared to fight over his edito-
rails or any other matters.

Hinus County Democratic Nominees.

The Convention which, under the rules
prescribed by the county Executive
Committee, was required to count the
votes in the primaries on the 18th, and
announce the result, met at Raymond
on the 18th, and performed its duties.
The names of the successful candidates
are flying at our masthead. The ticket
contains all the elements of strength,
and will sweep the field. 1t was grand
outpouring of the Democracy genu-
inc love-feast of the faithful. Except
ing the disappointment inevitable from
the defeat of expectant nominees,
(Which, however, was not in the slight
est degree exhibited there was no cloud
to mar the sunshine of the occasion.
The Convention adjourned in the best
humor. The fortunate aspirants took
their success in a spirit of moderation:
and the unlucky ones bore their reverse
with .cheerfulness.
The Convention indicated by test
vote its decided condemnation of the
mode which had been prescribed for
making the nominations, upon a resolu-
ton to that effect introduced by Mr..
Sharkey, of Bolton, and advocated by
Messrs. McNeely and Wells; but did not
condemn primary election, pure and
simple.

At the Convention in Raymond er

the following

soldier, statesman and patriot, Hon. f.

ResotUed, That this convention does
hereby request the Senators and Repre-
sentatives to-day nominated to vote for
Gen. E. @. Walthall as his own success
sor in the United States Senate.
Before putting the resolution to a vote
the Hon. E. Barksdale, chairman, asked
the indulgence of the convention while
he seconded the resolution indorsing the
distinguished statesman, General Wal
thall, for the position which he is now
filling so ably and accceptably The
| last Legislature by a unanimous vote
elected him to fill the vacancy in the
| United States Senate. His brief service
has been marked by the eminent ability
and distinction which have ever charac
| terized MIN in whatever position he has
been called to occupy. As a member of
| the House of Representatives it has been
| my good fortune to observe his course
in the Senate, and l can bear personal
testimony not only to his ability, but to
his unwearied vigilance in guarding and
promoting the interests of Mississippi.
The people of other counties are declar-
ing their desire that he shall continue
to serve them in that exalted position,
and | trust that the great imperial
county of Kinds, speaking through this
convention, will adopt the resolution by
rising vote, and voice sentiment in
harmony with theirs.
The resolutions were then unanimous
ly adopted by rising vote.

reported for the first time January l,
1877, are the proceeds of the Agricultu-
raj Land Scrip donated to the State by
Congress for the purpose of establishing
Agricultural Colleges. This scrip was
invested in outstanding Mississippi
bonds, which when lodged il the treas
ury, were not there to be cancelled, but
to be kept as trust fund, just as If
they had been United States bonds. In
the same year in which these bonds
were received at the treasury they were
cancelled, it is true, but other bonds
called Agricultural College Bonds, were
issued in their stead. So that from the

held at New Albany last week. Dele
gates to the District Convention were
chosen, and they were unanimously in
stIucted to vote for Hon. Thos. Spight
for District Attorney, and Hon. W. A.
Mcdonald, of Benton, for Senator. Mr..
Mcdonald made a brief address, in
which he expressed opposition to Con-
stitutional Convention, favored election
OF judges by popular vote, and will
support any plan that may be devised
to make the State Colleges self-support-
ing. The nesting decided, by unani-
NOUS vote. to have primary election.
